Holy Christ this loving Pet Lady.
To me, this lady exemplifies what it takes to be a wack packer. I swear, I heard her say that her sister was crazy one second, then defensively say that she wasn't crazy the next. I wonder if she'll do the smart thing for her remaining sanity and cut herself off from the show once and for all.

She definitely called her sister crazy several times and then at some point immediately screamed SHE ISN'T CRAZY HOWARD DON'T YOU SAY THAT

I know we are all used to Howard and Robin and Artie paying people to put songs on their ipads, but becoming a celebrity doesn't mean you instantly lose all ability to think or act for yourself.

Look at Jimmy Kimmel, Howard thought he was a genius or using interns to figure out how to post vacation photos online.

I agree. The staff was just shocked that he walked in on his own with no entourage. Meanwhile anytime the local semi-pro hockey team books a floor they expect to be treated like the Queen.

Why would he do that? With apple you can do remote desktop, video conferencing, and many other amazing things like type up a document and print it out.

I've officially gone from being annoyed with his constant technological retardation to amused. I think he thinks steve jobs actually sat down in his basement with some chips and resistors and made the ipad and all of the apps on it.

I just caught this on the replay, and it sounds like he called and had one put aside, because he had to go back and have another one put aside for Beth.

I took it more like he knew someone who was already in line out there to pick him up one. I can tell you for a fact that Apple retail employees are not allowed under any circumstances to hold product back for anyone. It is a serious termination level offense. I had to hear all about that this week from one of my best friends whom works for Apple that I went to Chicago with so he could help the launch there.

Apple doesn't want the thousands of people who waited outside for hours if not days to feel they were shafted out of getting a product because of someone getting special treatment. Most high profile people can get product straight from Apple overnight. If Howard actually got special treatment someone is going to get in serious trouble over there because Apple doesn't gently caress around in that regard.

Japan called me. They said "maybe those jokes are a hit in the US, but over here, they're all sinking.
4:33 PM Mar 12th via Twitter for iPhone .

I hosed a girl in japan. She screamed "I feel the earth move and I'm getting wet."

Me either! For some reason I always thought it was a sound-a-like. I'm kind of surprised a major company like that would use Gilbert in the first place. It's not like the other 99% of his Tweets/stand-up are particularly tasteful.

when I heard that it destroyed my mind. I've done construction for my father for like eight years and a job like that would at the most cost a couple of hundred bucks including materials and labor. Holy gently caress I need to move to Manhattan and work for a contractor.

Anyways I was just thinking about Jeff Probst, I think, or maybe someone else talking about EtM. It was about the time that Howard was feeling bad for eric and saying what a resilient little guy he was while Eric was on the line and Eric butted in with "hey you interrupted me"

Is there any way at all that this clip is around?

Speaking of Jimmy Kimmel, he wrote a piece about his experiences with the tsunami:

"A Dramatic Story, at the End of Which Nothing Happens"

I doubt most Japanese people are concerned with what the voice of the duck from an insurance company is saying on his twitter.


As for why they picked him to do the voice in the first play? They probably saw Aladdin and thought the bird with the funny voice could be a good mascot.
